For more than a decade, Paul was the term limits movement’s leading voice, running U.S. Term Limits, the nation’s largest term limits group.

He has also helped organize numerous ballot drives across the country. Unfortunately, this sort of activity is no longer risk-free in America. For his 2005 consulting effort in Oklahoma, regarding a spending limitation measure, he received the attention of political hierarchy of that state. In 2007 he was charged by Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson with a felony, of “defrauding the state” for allegedly hiring out-of-state petitioners, against the law that state. Oddly, no petitioners were charged with breaking the law, and the petition drive had itself done due diligence, asking advice from the state before seeking any help from petitioners who had recently lived elsewhere. The case is pending. For more information, see the Free Paul Jacob website.

Currently, Paul writes a weekly column for Townhall.com, and his work has also been featured in USA Today, New York Daily News, Roll Call, The Washington Times and The Chicago Tribune. He has appeared on Fox News, CNN’s “Inside Politics,” NBC’s “Today Show,” and ABC’s “Nightline.”

Paul has been named “a rising star in politics” by Campaigns & Elections magazine, received the Society for Individual Liberty’s “Phoenix Award” for “contributions to the advancement of liberty in America,” and was dubbed one of “The Best and the Rightest” by National Journal.

Paul serves on the board of Citizens in Charge, a group he helped form to expand and protect citizens’ initiative and referendum rights. Paul also sits on the board of the Center for Independent Thought and the advisory board of the Initiative and Referendum Institute. He lives with his wife Rhonda and their three children in Woodbridge, Virginia.
